Trivia

Without question, this episode is the best Futurama episode to date. And this is after watching every season multiple times. I would challenge any viewer to dispute the excellence of this episode.

The emotional ties to Fry's past and family, and the surprise ending make this some of the best, and most insightful, writings in a TV series.

Writing like this makes me wonder why anyone would ever cancel Futurama. Literary techniques and blatant references to certain films show the true quality of Matt Groening. I am so pleased they brought the show back. Keep up the excellent writing Matt, we all look forward to the continuance of the show!
